You already have it done.
The pc's conected to the hub/router you have has created your network.
Set all the PC's to the same workgroup name, give them individual names, create the shares and set the permisions.
Once that is done find the printers on the network and connect to them.
the printers will have the path \\pcname\sharename as will any folders you set to shared.0 -

Keep them connected to the hub. You'll need to set up the networking on each of the 3 PC's, see the relevant sticky on the techie forum for the links (if you get stuck).
